Romanee Conti 1996Domaine de la Romanee Conti
3.2cm, lbsl, spc, sos, #00160
Bottle (1)"This is backward to the point of being almost inexpressive
though with extended airing, subtle aromas of black fruit, hoisin,
spice, underbrush, anise and violets frame understated, refined,
elegant and classy flavors of incredible breed and fantastic
complexity. This will live for decades and it is so young that it
hasn't even begun to reveal what it will ultimately be capable of
delivering. And like the 2001 version, the transparency here is
nothing short of remarkable. In short, opening a bottle anytime
before 2012 will indeed be egregious infanticide and as the
drinking window suggests, patience is required, or if need be, at
least three hours of in a decanter. Consistent notes." (96pts Allen
